Doodles + coloring practices

Heyo! Here's some more misc drawings I've done. For some reason there's a lot of practice drawings I did to help me understand coloring this time around.

Art trade I did with someone on gaia. :m Something I did to try to understand soft shading a little more. I think I did each color's base, shadow, and highlight on one layer. But I don't remember anymore, haha;;

Laf and Dmitri ready 4 tha beach. This was actually a doodle I did in my psych notebook last semester. I thought it was cute so I decided to do a quick lining and coloring of it... ;u;7
Also Laf wears his glasses underneath his sunglasses like a tru master.

Lining that MayuMiko pic from the previous post. I'm so ambivalent about this picture.... I really like it, but I feel like it's not worth finishing because it'll take so much time and it's not even a pairing that's popular overall;;;

This is Lafayette, I know it doesn't look like him;;; I mentioned here that he cuts his hair in college, so I GUESS HE'S IN COLLEGE HERE! I was doing more practice with coloring when I drew this.
Blue lipstick is really interesting.

More color practice! I'm trying to get better with limited palettes... I more or less understand how to use limited palettes, but I'm bad at choosing colors for my own palettes, haha;; FOR INSTANCE, this one came out much more brownish than I expected.

I like how the colors for this one came out! Man, I really wanna draw stuff that's more than like headshots and bustshots, but... blububuh...

Yesterday was the anniversary of vocaloid producer PowapowaP/siinamota, so I drew this in memory of him. It's based off his song A Palette Full of You. I was too lazy to draw the gray-scheme girl, whoops;;;
I also for some reason was ~compelled~ to make the gif loop with three drawings, with one of the three being used twice. I went with the red girl for the extra frame because I like how her frame came out best;;

Idk why I'm so bad at drawing people covering/touching their faces... I think it's the arms, idk what they're supposed to look like. ;-;7 ONE DAY... I WILL BE BETTER AT DRAWING POSES WITH PEOPLE TOUCHING THEIR FACES...

and yeah, that's all I've got for now. Have a good week, y'all!
